THE REPORT UNTRUE
That the Army Omcers Had Been
Shot.

CRY OF MEXICO, May 12.-The DiariO
Official denies the report published
here yesterday to the effect that the
officers concerned in the Nogales az
fair had been shot. The paper says
the report is absolutely without foun-
dalton, and that there still remains to
the prisoners all the resources that
the laws concede. The telegram pub
lishe1 here yesterday came from the
United States, and excited much COM
ment. The denial of the execution
by the government organ creates a
feeling Of relief, as among Americans
there is a sentiment that the punch
ment of death awarded the officers is
too eayere.

KNOXVILLE, TENN May 12.-George
M. Kraft, proprietor of the Climax
dining rooms in this city, has been
missing since Sunday night last. This
morning two fishermen were raising
their lines in the Tennessee river, one
OF them thought he had fine catfi'h
as he sagged the line which lay at the
bottom Of the stream, and was horror
stricken when a disfgured corpse
made its appearance on the surface.
The body was taken to an undertaking
establishment and soon identified as
the body Of the missing Kraft. His
death is shrouded in mystery.
He usually carried q large sum OF
money about his person, and the last
eeen of him was in a saloon frequented
by rough chaIac' ers. He had been
drinking heavily OF late, but was ap-
parently sober at the time. His friends
believe he committed suicide, as he
had been Respondent OF late. He wa

LAWYERS or ST. LOUIS.
DO They All Make . Livings-wait-
Ing for y Client.


There are about 800 lawyers I'm the city
of st. Louis. It would appear, though,
looking over the records OF the courts,
that the legal business for 400, 900 people
is done by about 100 men. The lawyers
who have the important cases in court
can easily be counted, and any one walk
ing along the streets down town, seeing
whole big buildings apparently filled with
lawyers, hearing lawyers signs crealSing
everywhere, is struck with the question,
"How do all these lawyers make livingS"
There are in the neighborhood of 300
lawyers in st. Louis who have apparently
no visible means Of support. There are
lawyers who draw large salaries from cor
porations who are comparatively nm
known; there are Office lawyers whom no
one hears Of outside the profession, though
In 1t they have regulations greater than
the fellows who figure in the newspapers.
These men are the cnes who delve among
the authorities and pick out the fine points
of law, and who trace back old laws and
ordinances to the beginning, that flaws
may be found. When they are found,
some lawyer with q reputation is given
them; they are sprung on the court like n
bombshell, and carried to the higher courts
and dilated upon. Meanwhile the old
turnover is digging and probing away for
other points, and the leading member OF
the bar is leading a gay life and reaping
all the honors, his exertion being no moro
than reciting lesson he has learned No
body ever hears of the old John Burleys,
the production of whose brains are stolen
by the Randall Leslies of the bar, while
they are content to receive units of the
hundreds of dollars the others obtain II
fees.
There is then another class of lawyers
who seem to hang out their signs and have
their cards printed for no other purpose
than to get beyond the provisions of thu
vagrancy act These are the dude lawyers

The BarrOom Dog.

The ~barroom dog that drinks beer is
quite common curiosity. So much so
indeed that it is no longer n curiosity to
the FOUNDERS. / remember once going into
the bowels of the East side to see New
foundland dog that belonged to barroom
and drank beer and spirits with any one
who treated it. 1t was sad dog, as /
remember it. Its eyes were bilious, and
it had listless gait and depressed air.
Dissipation had evidently told upon it,.
Since that time / have got to know dogs
large, small and medium, all of which are
addicted to their pots, and / enjoy the
honor of acquaintanceship with o Bowery
goat that will, its owner assures me, drink
keg of beer If any one will find the keg.
When goat falls into ways of dissipation,
am told, it becomes more completely and
hopelessly abandoned than any animal
except man himself, and from what have
myself seen am inclined to believe that
this is the fact-Alfred Trumble in New
York News,

Chinese Theatre Orchestra.

The orchestra is usually composed Of
seven musicians, who sit at the back Of
the stage and play without much inter-
mission from the beginning to the end Of
the performance. The leading instru-
ments are the fiddle, the cymbals, the
gong and the drum. The fiddle tyran-
nizes over the rest of the music, and rises
superior even to the clash Of the cymbals.
1t has only single string, and the notes
evolved from it pierce the ear like knife.
The man that performs upon the fiddle
alternates with the cymbals, while his
next neighbor beats, in rhythmical meas
ure, on huge brazen gong, which is
pendent from the ceiling. The other per-
formers play upon drums, one of metal
and the other of polished wood The
music Is said to bear striking resem.
